When your suede custom sneakers need a refresh or restoration, pick up some premium, industrial strength Angelus Suede Dye, the shoe care product preferred by sneaker professionals. Our Navy Blue Suede Dye is ideal for any suede shoe, from classic Wallabees to Timberlands and everything in between.

* Dye soaks into the suede rather than sitting on top. The final color depends on the base color of the suede leather it is applied to. Example: a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red. 

Dyeing leather is different from painting as it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint.

The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red.

Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

DYEING SMOOTH LEATHER WITH ANGELUS LEATHER DYE

1. Prep by wiping down leather with leather preparer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag.

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. Wipe down with microfiber towel to remove all lint.

3. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

4. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

5. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

6. Leave to dry. You may see a tint, bronzing, or any different finish. Do not panic! This is just residual dye on the surface.

7. (Optional) Wipe with a microfiber towel to remove excess dye pigment. If there is still a sheen or tint use some alcohol on said microfiber and wipe down quickly. Do not let the alcohol sit on the item or else you risk lifting some of the dye and discoloring. Once done the tint should disappear and it will just be the color. 

8. If you wish to dye the item more of the color complete steps 5-7 again. 

9. If you are looking to protect and nourish the leather we suggest using Angelus Leather Balm or Neutral Angelus Shoe Polish. If you do not want the shine of the shoe polish just lightly buff versus a full buff to shine. If you dyed the article a black or brown we would suggest even buffing with a colored shoe polish or Lustre Cream

DYEING SUEDE WITH ANGELUS SUEDE DYE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the suede material. 

2. You cannot "SPOT TREAT" suede. Please make sure to fully wash/clean the entire surface to avoid water spots.

3. If the suede feels hard in texture, there is too much product in the material. Use a suede brush to loosen the suede. You can also use a soft bristle brush and water to pull out the cleaner. Let it dry, then you can continue.

4. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

5. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

6. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

7. Leave to dry for a few hours.

8. Using our Suede Kit brush or a strong bristled brush, break up the suede to bring it back to its natural feel. Be careful to not let residual dye get on other parts while brushing excess off. This will help the suede feel original again as well as remove excess dye so not run in case it gets wet.

9. (Optional)We highly recommend spraying down with our Water Repellent or Mink Oil Aerosol. \

Leather dyes are super strong and full of color. They work great on leather because they soak in and last a long time. Suede dyes are a bit different—they have less color in them and are made to keep suede soft. Suede is that soft, fuzzy leather, and it needs special care. If you put leather dye on suede, it can make the suede hard, not soft and fuzzy like it should be.

Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint. Our paint is water based while our dyes are alcohol based.

Yes, all Angelus Dyes are mixable! Angelus Leather Dyes can be mixed with other Angelus Leather Dyes, and the same for Angelus Suede Dyes. Mixing dyes to acheive specific colors is harder than mixing paints and does require testing. (Do not mix Suede Dyes and Leather Dyes together.)

Keep in mind that this is considered a professional product. You may need to perform many tests before applying it to your final piece.

Applying it was super easy but the polish rubbed off on my ankles when I wore them two days later!

Hi there! when you dye suede, some saturate better than others. Since this is considered more of a professional product to use, we like to recommend wiping the material after you dye it to see if there is any over saturation, if there is, then you can use some rubbing alcohol to pull out that overstauration. Once that is done, a Mink Oil spray is good to rejuvenate that suede.
This is still a doable process if you want to try it! Please email us if you have any questions.

Nice deep blue, good coverage - hints of purple

I dyed my Birkenstock straps with this from light mint green to navy blue, because I had managed to stain the brand new sandals and couldn't lift the stain. It did cover the stain nicely and was easy to apply.
But: Some parts of my dye job appear more purple than blue and it turned out a bit uneven overall. Maybe I over-applied... But still, that's why I don't want to give 5 stars.

Skates look new

Few years ago I used 1.5 bottles to stain my tan suede Riedell boots navy blue, recently touched up with 1 bottle and skates look like new again. Totally worth it, beautiful navy blue color, quality and fast shipping. Would order again. Was helpful to watch a how to video before diving in.

Excelllent, but...

I've used Angelus suede paint before, I painted my Adidas Hamburg trainers and the result was great (Lilac colour). This time I painted Adidas Handball Spezial in Navy and after the first coat, I got these brown and rusty spots. I let the trainers dry and applied a coat again a day later, but there were more such spots (photo). Eventually, after completely drying, I used a stiff brush to lift the nap on the suede, and noticed that the rust marks started to disappear too (you can see these areas). In the end it took me quite a while to remove the stains, and I almost wiped off the brush, but I was pleased with the result, the trainers are as good as new.P.S. I didn't get what the stains were.

Based on your description, it sounds like the shoe might've been bronzed.This happens when too much dye has been applied to the shoe. Because our dyes are heavily pigmented, using too much dye in one spot might create the bronzing you are experiencing.In the future, we can recommend for you to use denatured alcohol with a microfiber towel to remove any excess dye on the shoes.This should help remove some of the bronzing on the shoes. Let us know if you have any other questions.Thank you!

Easy to apply and beautiful finish

Very happy with my purchase! It was delivered quite fast and the navy suede color looks beautiful! Doesn’t have a strong smell, the applicator that came with was easy to use, and the finish product looks beautiful. Note that it is a true dark navy blue - some pics were a bit brighter than actual finished product - but it was exactly what I was going for.

Great product

Great product. High quality dye. I have several of their suede dyes and wouldn’t use any other product. Easy application, dries quickly, and holds up well. I live in the south and often get my suede wet in dew laden grass. This product keeps my shoes looking new.

Did the job

Perfect color ... what I wanted to achieve. User error: I used too much product in my first application but followed the instructions on the back of the bottle of using rubbing alcohol and soft cloth to lessen up the rust tinge caused by my heavy application ... worked perfectly. When I did the other shoe, I backed off on how much product I used. Thanks Angelus.
